Application of Manure.

The American Rural Home says that not
only is the preservation of the manure with
minimum loss matter of great importance,
but its application to the soil, or to crops,
Is also an important matter. Science would
perhaps indicate that to spread it upon the
surface Of the soil just before blowing, and
then 70 SOW the seed and have the roots of
plants ready to absorb the plant-food as fast
as released by decomposition, would be the
better way of saving the valuable ingredi-
ents OF manure, but recent practice of many
OF our best farmers would seem to afford
evidence that there are some things which
chemists have not yet satisfactorily ex-
planned. Since the ordinary rotation of
crops, so generally adopted in Western New
Aork, has been practiced; that is, manure
upon clover and timothy sod, followed by
barley and oats, those crops by wheat, that
ny meadow, many farmers have practiced
hauling out their manure ut convenient sea-
sons during the winter, sometimes daily or
weekly, when the weather and circumstan-
ces would permit, and continuing so to do
until ready to pillow for corn in the spring.
many farmers have informed US that the
favorable results of this course were plainly
visible in the corn, and that on those parts
OF The field where manure was spread ear
nest in winter the corn was best, the growth
diminishing as the time of spreading neared
thc time Of blowing. A German farmer
who watched for several years the effects of
surface application of manure became con
Vlnced That q load of quite raw, infer
mented manure had quite as much effect as
load OF manure that had been condensed
ana shrunken by fermentation. If, then.
farmers will, by the use of absorbing litter
una gypsum and compacting in the stables
or manure sheds do what they can toward
preserving the manurial elements before the
manure Is applied TO the soil, and will, from
Time 10 time through the winter, when the
weather Ia favorable, tho earth frozen and

AMERICAN PIANOS.
1.-The United States Leads the World
in the Art Of Manufac-
turing PianO."

The piano, after more than century and
a half after its invention, has become the
leading instrument OF music throughout
Christendom. There are at least fifty
thousand men employed in their manufac-
ture, and as many as a hundred thousand
are made every year. An average piano
requires one hundred and twenty days of
labor to complete it--a slow and tiresome
process for the work of one mans hands,
but in Germany they are still so made.
Although the United States now turns out
many thousand pianos year, fifty-five
years ago scarcely fifty were made, annually.
Almost every household now regards a
piano as essential to happiness; for we have
long since passed the age of simplicity of
our forefathers, and the age of luxury has
fairly set in--and we rejoice that it is so.
What wide field is open for the manu-
facturer, and what Inducements to carry
improvements of the piano to the highest
state of perfection. The variableness of our
climate renders it of the first Importance
that our pianos should be made in the most
thorough and substantial manner, and we
certainly can claim that our American
pianos are the best in the World. Musical
World
The question of the superiority of Ameri-
can pianos over those of foreign make is
indisputably settled and needs no discussion.
while in'prices the odds are likewise largely
in our favor.

Picking Cotton.

Int very interesting article on cotton
harvesting, Mr.. r. T. Reading, in the
Southern CtllttUator for September, saws
that the fruition Of the cotton planters hope
of a successful, practical machine for gath
ering cotton is yet in allegiance and the
work must still be done by nimble human
fingers Inventors, however, are earnestly
at work seeking to solve this great prob
lem. Cotton picking by hand is by far the
most expensive opera ton involved in the
production of raw cotton. Moreover, the
cost OF nearly every operation, except pick
ing, may be reduced in proportion as the
Weld per acre is greater. There is practi-
cally but little difference in the cost per
pound of gathering by hand the crop from
an acre producing 1000 pounds of seed cot
ton and another acre yielding only half as
much. Hence, the supreme Importance and
universal desire for practical machine to
supersede the work of the hand. Such
machine must necessarily be so construct
ed-to be efficient-that its daily capacity
will be almost in direct proportion to the
yield per acre.
Much has been said and written of late
years about the Importance of gathering
cotton free from trash, to use the farmers
vernacular; and some of the writers, al
though right in the main, are evidently but
little familiar with the requirements and
conditions that must be practically met on
q cotton farm during the harvesting of the
crop Some years ago an apparently 9th
erwise intelligent English writer undertook
to show that there was no excuse whatever
for the presence of sand or soil in bales of
cotton; that the cotton crop opened (all of
it was his ideal in September, a month in
which there was little or no rainfall. He
concluded, and reproved and lectured the
farmer accordingly, that the sand was
fraudulently added by the farmer as a
make-weight.
While it is desirable to house the cotton
as free from leaf and hull as may be, it is of
first Importance that the crop be ''gone
over" as often as the quantity open at one
time is sufficient to enable hands to do
fair days work. In the interest of econo-
my, and with limited picking force, &C.
lerity of movement, nimbleness of fingers,
and the weight of cotton gathered per hand
per day are tho points to be observed.
